According to the Diccionario crítico etimológico castellano e hispánico, by Corominas & Pascual (1980: 906), the etymology of "flamenco" in its meanings of "flamingo" and "music and dance of Gypsy Andalusia" is "Flemish, native of Flanders" because of the supposed resemblance to the latter's ruddy and reddish complexion. However, a number of linguistic, historical, anthropological and musicological arguments persuade us to reject such explanation and propose an alternative one instead, based on the opposition homonymy/polysemy and on the meaning of the phrase 'flemish knife' in Andalusian Spanish.
